Defending Yourself Against a Sex Crime

Have you been accused of a sex crime? Stop talking to anyone, especially to the police, about this. The first step to defending yourself against this allegation is not talking to anyone but your Memphis sex crime attorney.

You cannot talk your way out of being charged. Even in cases where the victim lied, I have never seen a prosecution halted prior to charging. It was only after our investigation of all of the facts and not just the lies that police are so quick to believe that charges have been dismissed.

Also, do not give anyone access to your computers, phones, or emails/texts. These can often be used to take the most innocuous comments and twist them into a form of confession. Do not agree to take a lie-detector test with the police. We handle all the lie-detector testing, and it is private unless we need it to negotiate with the prosecuting attorneys.

You need a law firm, a team of sex crimes lawyers and investigators, to build a successful defense to these charges. We have successfully handled hundreds of similar cases and can handle yours. The first step is to pick up the phone a call today.
